lost and alone
a wandering spirit

unknown poet
words sprawled in a notebook
yellow and fade

hope in ashes
fragments of dust cling
to the edge of dreams

mysterious landscapes
rise and unfold before my eyes
worlds of Clouds

mysterious landscapes
backlit by the sun
beckoning

rise and unfold before my eyes
dragons and knights quell fears
as they dissipate

worlds of clouds
sweeping away the mundane
in a gust of wind

mysterious landscapes
forging the terrain
of my imagination

backlit by the sun
forgotten hopes and dreams
remembered

beckoning
my true self emerging
from veiled shadows

rise and unfold before my eyes
new paths and adventures
to conquer

dragons and knights quell fears
of the daily grind –
youth awakened

as they dissipate
I wave goodbye to worry
a smile emerges

worlds of clouds
Spark the imagination
dreams unfold

sweeping away the mundane
cobwebs of my life
trailing

in a gust of wind
a new spring added
to my gait

I decided to write a haiku this week and then use a form called Troiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. This form uses each line of the starting haiku as the first line of the next haiku. It does not have to all be related, but I like to challenge myself to create one idea.

autumn colors drift
creating butterfly clouds
swirling around us

autumn colors drift
stirring memories when time
was at a crawl


creating butterfly clouds
enveloping the spirits
of our youthful past

swirling around us
the happiness of childhood
imbues our essence
